going to but Jet tomorrow at Mines.
last time i went to Mines and play around+asking,
they said can install Garmin GPS software, as Jet has
a-gps built-in.
is it true?

i just bought it for the price of RM1850
including standard accessories, 5 layer screen protector,
in car charger.
FMG warranty, come with free 90 days manga reader (FMG freebies)

First sight, what a phone .
have everything i need.
except for the GPS part.
need to use google, not good.

anyway, i spoke to the salesman, they also sell Garmin GPS Nuvi,
so, i told him to try the software to Jet later.

actually, that price come with 16Gb mem card. the phone only was RM1750. bit expensive la maybe

kingston. any issue? pls tell me coz i dun really know. i'm just into style.hoho

i'm trying the route66 nav now. still download the software.
size bout 122Mb. i been told that it does have mKL and JB maps.
but first you have to enable your navigation features. it has been locked for s8003 model, dont know why.
how to enable it? i got from gsmarena
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s8000_jet-reviews-2835p4.php

i can finally use gps. route66 works well, but no drive/walk to features are not available for malaysia. therefore i tried amazaGPS for samsung mobile phone s7330.

it did have malaysia map, just no drive to and walk to features available for malaysia. so u kindda use it like google maps, but free la. no gprs/3g charges.

eR[o]$:
1. yes ucan use wifi for almost everything in Jet.
2. about the Route66, u installed the Route66 Sync first. upon completion, restart your pc ( we dun want interruption from running background). then connect your Jet via 'mass storage'. then download everything that free as the interface will be open.

and a good news for Jet users who waiting for Route66 gps navigation. i email the roue66 support center about the drive to and walk to feature. then they reply and asking my IMEI. i gave it to them, and then they reply to me giving the instructions on how to download the features. but it's not free. u need to pay though. here is the steps from my email
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Thanks for your information.

Please follow steps below to purchase Drive and Walk, and extras services,

· Connect the phone to the PC in "Mass storage" mode and start the ROUTE 66 Sync application.

· Click “Route 66 Store”, Navigation->Drive and walk->Asia->South East Asia Pacific.

@danni_boy
i'm not yet buy the license since i'm not in the need to use gps. but if i really need it for traveling someplace i'm not familiar with, i would definitely buy 'em. anyway, the fees are 1.79EUR for 1 day, 9.99EUR for 1 month and 49.99EUR for 12 months.

@dauf87
yes, if u surf through Route66 Sync, the feature were not available. i can confirm that. but remember i emailed their support center and they asked for my Jet IMEI. i dunno why and somehow, that feature suddenly appear u. in fact, i already downloaded the features using Route66 in Jet (not through PC Route66 Sync), but it is locked and cannot be used since i did not pay yet.

Answer from Samsung Apps Store. may you judge yourself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my question;

Hello all,

sorry for this uncategorizes enquiries,

i'm just wondering when will this appstore support Samsung Jet S8000?
the lame Jet issues at internet will be solved if this store
cover applications and widgets for Samsung Jet.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

the answer;

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Samsung Application Store. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

Unfortunately you can't use Samsung Application Store to download applications for your Samsung Jet phone. Samsung Application Store supports only Windows and Symbian operating systems. The Samsung Jet has its own operating system. That is the reason why your phone will not be supported on Application Store.

Nevertheless, you can find and download contents for your Samsung Jet mobile phone. Please, check available content for your phone on the website www.samsungmobile.co.uk or on your phone : wap.samsungmobile.co.uk

If you have any further question, please do not hesitate to contact us or you also may want to check out our answers to Frequently Asked Questions, which can be found at the Support menu of Application Store.

Thank you for using our services. Your satisfaction is very important for us.

Xavier Bohers.

Customer Service Representative

Samsung Application Store.

sadly no such things so far. for me, i create music playlist. easier

for maxis setting, u could select 'select another model'
and choose s8000.
then u can request 4 settings:
-WAP and MMS
-Streaming
-Email service

To proper test the Jet functionality, simple press *#0*#. sensors, vga cam, 5MP cam, touch sensitivity, etc available for testing. you can even lite on the mega flash of the camera. i used it frequently as a torchlight.

Regarding the DXII2 asian firmware, it is rumoured to be as same as DXIG2, not close to the extremely new XEII2. but, again we'll lose Asian language support, and time zone +8 will be located to somewhere Russia, not usual Beijing/Kuala Lumpur/Singapore.

Dictionary, u can simply find on getjar.com as it do support java application on Jet.

Update firmware via NPS is highly not recommended as NPS is not yet stable an under Beta test. If u eager for firms, just flash and make sure to follow the instructions in DarkForest forum.

additional info, darkforest is built by those who are working with Samsung Mobile and all info provides by them i.e. forum moderator as well as senior forumers are correct.

For my Jet, flashing chronologies:
S8003DXIF8 (original) > S8000XEIG1 > S8003DXIG2 > S8000XEIG2 > S8000XEII2.
i got early on July and quite pricey. but i manage to get 16GB SDCard, and some many freebies.
I even surf online to buy flipcase for my Jet at RM15 only. i tried to find the flipcase everywhere, but can't find. last option ebay..

i've subscribed the Route 66 GPS. EUR5.99 for a month. really9x cool. seriously. i never went to Terengganu+Kelantan.
trying my luck, buy the navigation license.
i didn't lost!!!
